You're going to plant a hackberry on purpose? I can't mow and chop and dig and prune fast enough to keep them contained. There's a big one in the middle of the back yard that the renters before I bought let grow there, and there are hackberries ringing my fence, growing over the cyclone fencing and pushing through the stockade fences. There's a huge one in my next door neighbor's back corner that shades out a bunch of the back of my yard and is going to collapse one of these days. They spring up in the lawn and flower beds. Might as well plant kudzu.
